HTTP_GET_VARS not working...

[mrbaseball34]

Why would I get this with Register_Globals=ON or OFF?

Notice: Undefined variable: printable in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 4

Here is the line:
3: $criteria = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
4: if ($printable) { $nop = array_pop($criteria); }

Also:
I have a defined array:
$fields = array
("pkgod","padsperside","subtracted","rowsperside","maxpadcount","padpit
ch","cavitysize","dieod");

and get these errors:
Notice: Undefined index: pkgod in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183
Notice: Undefined index: padsperside in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183
Notice: Undefined index: subtracted in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183
Notice: Undefined index: rowsperside in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183

Notice: Undefined index: cavitysize in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183
Notice: Undefined index: dieod in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
\packageselector.php on line 183

on this line:

182: for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($fields); $i++) {
183: if ($criteria[$fields[$i]]) {

Man this globals stuff is kicking my ass. Anyone have any simple
rules on it and the use of HTTP_GET_VARS .vs $_GET?

The only rule I know about is that with php >= 4.2
register_globals is by default turned off
and you should use the superglobal $_GET

I have yet to a consistant success using the older style
$HTTP_xxx_VARS arrays.

I would step through your code replacing variable names with what they should be to see if maybe you didn't confuse them. Or maybe submit each with a little more code and discription so we might have a better understanding of what we are looking at.
